But, Mom did contact a lady that had loads of apples for sale. Rather imperfect apples, but still good apples for canning. So Mom bought a hundred pounds for applesauce.
This is our third year making applesauce and we have a pretty good process down. One person cranks the peeler corer slicer, one person cuts the rings into slices, and one person (always my mom) throws all the sugar and spices into the pot and makes sure the stuff gets cooked down far enough. Mom also did all the actual canning, while Camille and I really only helped with the preparation of the apples, which is a lot of it.
The apple peeler corer slicer tool really is the handiest thing to have around. I would never, ever, ever, recommend canning without one.
All of us hard at work; in all, we made 6 gallons of applesauce! And not just any applesauce; our applesauce is more like apple pie filling!
